The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — woman, thou, matter, man — and what happens in the verse to thing, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 4 chapters of Ruth on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ שְׁבִ֣י בִתִּ֔י עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין אֵ֖יךְ יִפֹּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי־אִם־כִּלָּ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַיּֽוֹם׃ [Then said she: 'Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he have finished the thing this day.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.69/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:RUT:62 # text = וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ שְׁבִ֣י בִתִּ֔י עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין אֵ֖יךְ יִפֹּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי־אִם־כִּלָּ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַיּֽוֹם׃ # verse = RUT.3.18 1-2 וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:18!1|MId=o080030180011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=RUT_3:18!1|MId=o080030180012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080030160031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שְׁבִ֣י יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=sit.down|Ref=RUT_3:18!2|MId=o080030180021|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:080030180031;|Type=imperative 4-5 בִתִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בִתּ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=my.daughter|Ref=RUT_3:18!3|MId=o080030180031|Strong=1323 5 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=RUT_3:18!3|MId=o080030180032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 עַ֚ד עַד ADP _ _ 3 parataxis _ Gloss=until|Ref=RUT_3:18!4|MId=o080030180041|Strong=5704 7 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=RUT_3:18!5|MId=o080030180051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 8-9 תֵּֽדְעִ֔ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 תֵּֽדְעִ֔י יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=RUT_3:18!6|MId=o080030180061|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:080030180031;A1:080030180081;|Type=yiqtol 9 ן נ X _ _ 8 nmod _ Gloss=will.know|Ref=RUT_3:18!6|MId=o080030180062|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 10 אֵ֖יךְ אֵיךְ INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=how?|Ref=RUT_3:18!7|MId=o080030180071|Strong=0349|Type=interrogative 11 יִפֹּ֣ל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 ccomp _ Gloss=will.it.fall.out|Ref=RUT_3:18!8|MId=o080030180081|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:080030180091;|Type=yiqtol 12 דָּבָ֑ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=a.matter|Ref=RUT_3:18!9|MId=o080030180091|Strong=1697 13 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=RUT_3:18!10|MId=o080030180101|Strong=3588 14 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=RUT_3:18!11|MId=o080030180111|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15 יִשְׁקֹט֙ שָׁקַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.be.at.peace|Ref=RUT_3:18!12|MId=o080030180121|Strong=8252|Frame=A0:080030180132;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 הָאִ֔ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_3:18!13|MId=o080030180131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 אִ֔ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=RUT_3:18!13|MId=o080030180132|Strong=0376 18 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ ExtPos=SCONJ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=RUT_3:18!14|MId=o080030180141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 19 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 18 fixed _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=RUT_3:18!15|MId=o080030180151|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 20 כִּלָּ֥ה כָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.finished|Ref=RUT_3:18!16|MId=o080030180161|Strong=3615|Frame=A0:080030180132;A1:080030180172;|Type=qatal 21-22 הַדָּבָ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_3:18!17|MId=o080030180171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 דָּבָ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=matter|Ref=RUT_3:18!17|MId=o080030180172|Strong=1697 23-24 הַיּֽוֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=RUT_3:18!18|MId=o080030180181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 יּֽוֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=RUT_3:18!18|MId=o080030180182|Strong=3117 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=RUT_3:18!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | שְׁבִי *sit down* | imperative · qal | בִתּ *my daughter* | | | | | תֵּֽדְעִי *you* | yiqtol · qal | בִתּ *my daughter* | יִפֹּל *will it fall out* | | | | יִפֹּל *will it fall out* | yiqtol · qal | דָּבָר *a matter* | | | | | **not** יִשְׁקֹט *he will be at peace* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *man* | | | | | כִּלָּה *he has finished* | qatal · piel | אִישׁ *man* | דָּבָר *matter* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
